Wicked Weather Could Derail U.S. Open...Again

After Thursday's washout at Bethpage Black on Long Island, things could get a lot worse for some of the nation's best golfers this weekend.

Golfers successfully completed the first round and part of the second round of the 2009 U.S. Open on Friday, with the rest of round two set to begin Saturday morning, but wicked weather is back on its way to the course.

According to this map: CLICK HERE, a huge storm is making its way through the Mdwest and is on track to hit New York and New Jersey throughout the day tomorrow. Yahoo weather is reporting scattered thunderstorms for tomorrow, rain on Sunday and guess what, more rain on Monday.

This is bad news for Bethpage. They are hoping to complete the second round tomorrow, with round three Sunday, and maybe the finale Monday afternoon.

So far, Lucas Glover is the leader; he shot a 69 in round one and was -5 under par through 13 holes in the second round, before play was stopped because of twilight. Phil Mickelson, who has been the story of the tournament because of his wife's battle with breast cancer, is struggling after getting off to a fast start Friday.

At one point, Mickelson was one shot from the lead through the first 12 holes of round one but slipped big time the rest of the day. Mickelson shot a 69 in the first round, but is even par through 11 holes in the second round. He is five shots behind Glover for the lead and tied for 11th place. LEADER BOARD.

As for Tiger Woods, the tournament has been a nightmare. First, he had to play through six holes in the rain on Thursday, causing him to shoot +4 over par. He really never recovered on Friday, taking the wet links at 7:30 in the morning. Woods finished at +4 over par and is tied in 66th place with a score of 74.

Woods is set to tee off at 1:36 tomorrow when the storm hits. He needs to do better in order to make the cut.
